INVITATION 



As a finished, accepted institution THE CONNECTICUT FAIR opens its 
second season and extends its invitations to the Connecticut public, spectators 
and exhibitors alike. One season of feverish activity, in which every effort was 
bent to give to the people of Connecticut the greatest fair which they had ever 
seen, and in which the enthusiasm and the expenditures of the promoters, the 
unending pains of the managers, and the loyal backing of the great Connecticut 
public were all joined to one end, brought the enterprise to a triumphal success 
which seemed like the efforts of years, so that now the exposition needs no intro- 
duction except that of the high standard already established and which it is in- 
tended to surpass. On September 6, 1909, The Connecticut Fair Association will 
open its second Annual Fair as the greatest amusement and industrial exposition 
of New England, the center of the great agricultural interests, the culmination of 
the harvest season, the Mecca of the stock-raising activities, the hearthstone of 
the home interests, and the high tide of the amusement enterprises of the state. 

The Fair of the people, by the people, for the people, to adapt the words of 
him who was himself a man of the people; the triumphal arch of the farm, the 
dairy, the city and the town; the gathering place of the men from the plough 
and the men from the desk — this is the ideal of the Connecticut Fair in its 
second season. And to reach this ideal it sends its invitation to the stock-raiser, 
to the horseman, to the gardener, to the manufacturer, to the sheep-breeder, to 
the poultryman, to the housewife, and to the school child, each to lend his or her 
aid to build up the mighty column which shall symbolize the year's activities 
within the state. By the offerings of the farms, by the exhibits from the stables, 
from the granaries, the sheep-folds, and the farmhouses, will be formed the great 
show rings which shall exemplify the mightiness of the Connecticut farms and 
homes. And when they are gathered will come the thousands to see the work of 
their own hands and of their neighbors, to rejoice in the land and the richness 
of its output, and to spend a week in which pleasure, amusement, entertainment 
will be found in its highest exposition; in which the wonders of America and 
Europe, the thrills of the most daring and the most novel performers of this and 
other lands, the most unique, the most wonderful sights of all countries will be 
gathered for one great week of pleasure and sight-seeing. They will come to 
an exposition in which every interest from the most modest to the most preten- 
tious will find something to satisfy every wish. 

The finest horses of America — trotters, pacers and dashing runners ridden 
by their clinging jockeys; cattle, the finest which the land can offer; sheep, the 
choicest which the pastures of the nation can produce; poultry, in numbers and 
varieties of which even the fancier can hardly dream; agricultural products, grain, 
vegetables and fruits, in pyramids and quantities like those of fable and story; 
products of the home, the dainty handwork of the wives and daughters — all 
these will be shown in numbers and in qualities which will astound even those 
to whom expositions of the kind are no new story. 



4 ENTRIES CLOSE AUGUST i8th, 1909 

$75,000.00 has been voted by the management, this season, for the premiums 
for the races and for the different exhibits, divided into classes so minute and so 
accurate that each and every exhibit will compete, fairly, against exhibits of its 
own kind. And although among the exhibits there will be some in which a whole 
fortune is represented, yet the smallest product, the smallest bit of handiwork 
on which someone has expended pains and forethought, will be most respectfully 
considered. For, as this is an exposition for the people, it is meant to include 
the work of all the people. Therefore let stock farm, pasture, dairy, orchard, 
apiary, poultry house, and kitchen present each the best of its kind to compete 
in this the greatest country fair of all New England. 

The Connecticut Fair this year receives the public on its own grounds, pur- 
chased after the brilliant success of the initial season, and realize that besides the 
exhibits of interest and instruction it must have others which are pure amuse- 
ment, great enough and many enough to pack a whole week with solid enjoyment. 
To this end the managers have secured a list of amusements which shall be, at 
the one time, so novel, so thrilling as to hold the interest of the most sated 
amusement-seeker, but which at the same time will appeal to the purest, the most 
refiened of tastes represented in the Connecticut public. An entertainment as 
brilliant and as refined as the names which stand back of it — this is the ideal 
which the Connecticut Fair amusements will follow. If in the first year's 
enthusiasm there crept in some parasitic amusements of which the taste was 
questionably questionable, the year's experience has taught their harm, and this 
season a ruthless hand will shear away anything which is not good and whole- 
some. 

Pure sport will be represented in the highest terms — the grand circuit races, 
athletic events, a horse show under the direction of that peerless horseman, 
Francis M. Ware, in which will be the aristocrats of the society ring, the stock 
farm and the polo field. There will be thrilling running races by the best thor- 
oughbreds of the eastern tracks — all seen as at no other fair in this part of the 
country. In addition there will be numberless spectacular entertainments — 
Kemp's great Wild West Show with its daring cowboys, its Indians, its stage- 
coach robbery, its never-tiring exhibits of life on the western plains. The fearless 
Greggs will show for the first time the most daring act which the world has ever 
seen, in which one woman in an automobile makes a triple somersault in the air, 
while another shoots apparently to certain death beneath her. The flying Dor- 
dens, the aero artists, and hundreds of other expositions will make up a week's 
solid pleasure. 

And, properly to crown an exposition of the whole state, the chief executive 
— Governor Frank B. Weeks — will patronize the Fair with his presence and that 
of his entire staff and his bodyguard, to give his final sanction to the great fair 
of his state — Connecticut. 

This, then, is the invitation to one and all. The Connecticut Fair sends its 
greeting.

Office Hours, 9 a. m. to 4 p. m. 



Room 77, Sage-Allen Bldg. 



THE fact that the cement used on teeth 
is a perfect preservative makes the 
new gold inlay work which has to be put 
in with cement very permanent. Dr. E. 
B. Abbey, Sage-Allen Building, is doing 
a great deal of this work. It does away 
with a great deal of drilling (which means 
much less pain), the annoying rubber 
dam, and the tedious hammering incident 
to the old method of filling with gold. 
It also makes possible the arrest with 
gold of decay that reaches well in under 
the gums and heretofore has been inac- 
cessible. Step into Dr. Abbey's office 
and let him explain these new fillings 
to you. 



ARENn: YOU NEARLY READY ? 



AREN'T you nearly ready to throw 
away that partial plate that you 
have worn for years, and have the spaces 
that are now but poorly supplied by 
said partial plate, and the other spaces 
that have come since, with good, com- 
fortable, firm, nice-looking bridge work 
such as is done by Dr. Abbey, Sage- 
Allen Building. It is the unanimous 
verdict of those who wear good bridge 
work that they have never spent their 
money where they have derived greater 
benefit and satisfaction.

Amattte Roofing 

Mineral Surfaced Needs No Paint 

This famous roofing is an advance over the old-fashioned types inasmuch as it 
has a surface of crushed mineral matter imbedded under great pressure into its 
weather side. This surface needs no paint whatever, and after you lay an Amatite 
roof you can safely leave it alone without care or attention for many years. 

Nails and cement in sufficient quantities supplied free with each roll. 

Anyone can lay it. 

Amazon 

This is the best skin-coated roofing made. It is so tough that it can be used as 
a floor covering with satisfaction. With an occasional coat of paint, it will give 
splendid protection for upwards of 10 years. 

It comes in various weights so that you can use it for either temporary or per- 
manent buildings with economy. 

Nails and cement free. 

Creonoid 

Lice Destroyer and Cow Spray 

This is a powerful coal tar germicide and vermicide. Spray it in hen houses, 
stables, etc., and the vapor will kill or drive away all insects and vermin. 
An effective and cheap sheep dip. 

Carbonol 

This is carbolic acid with the dangerous properties left out. It is non-poisonous 
and non-corrosive, but the most efficient disinfectant known. 

For cleaning the sick room, for suppressing bad odors, for keeping sinks, 
cellars, etc., in sanitary condition, Carbonol is unexcelled. 

It dissolves grease, and is useful for removing stains and cleaning sinks and 
dishes.

Judge 

DR. HENRY O. WOLTERS, New York. 

The following extract from the rules of the Cat Fanciers' Association should 
be read carefully by all intending exhibitors, as they will be strictly enforced: 



CAT FANCIERS' ASSOCIATION SHOW RULES 
Article I — Definitions 

Section i. The word cat is used in these rules to indicate a domesticated 
feline of either sex, or a neuter, of adult age. A kitten is an immature cat under 
the age of eight months. To be eligible for showing, a kitten must be not less 
than four nor more than eight months old on the opening day of the show. 

Sec. 2. An American bred cat is a cat born in the United States or Canada 
of a dam owned in the United States or Canada at the time of mating. 

Sec. 3. The breeder of a cat is the person who owns or leases the dam at 
the time of mating. 

Article II — Eligibility for Exhibition 

Cats or kittens entered for competition must be the bona fide property of 
the person making the entry. If ownership be transferred prior to the opening 
of the show, said transfer must be reported to the show manager and prizes 
will be paid or delivered accordingly, but such transfer of ownership will not 
be considered in allotting any prize for '" display."

ENTRIES CLOSE AUGUST 25th, 1909 57 

Article III — Entries 

Section i. Applicants for entries of cats or kittens at shows held under these 
rules must agree to abide b}' the rules, and must give the name of cat and, when 
possible, date of birth, names of sire and dam and of breeder and owner. 

Sec. 2. The date of closing entries having been duly announced, the show 
management cannot be compelled to accept entries made or mailed after noon of 
Ihat date, postmarks to be accepted as evidence. Entries offered by telegraph, 
or subsequent to the hour of closing, may be accepted or rejected at the option 
of the show manager, without assigning reasons for such action. 

Sec. 3. Cats entered for competition and present cannot be withdrawn prior 
to the judging without the consent of the show committee, unless the advertised 
judge does not officiate. In such case, the exhibitor may declare his cat " for 
exhibition only," and shall have a right to place a sign to that effect on the 
animal's cage, that exhibitors may know that said cat has not been defeated. In 
such case, if a catalogue is issued, stating awards, the word " withdrawn " must 
be set opposite the cat's name. 

Article IV — Classification 

Section i. Three classes shall be recognized for each type: Open, Novice, 
and Kitten. 

Sec. 2. The Open Class is for cats of either sex over eight months old. 

Sec. 3. The Novice Class is for cats over eight months old that have never 
won a first prize at any sanctioned show in the United States or Canada. Cats 
imported from England may not be termed novices. 

Sec. 4. The Kitten Class is for any kitten not less than four nor more than 
eight months old on opening day of the show. 

Article VII — Veterinarian 

Section i. A properly qualified veterinarian shall examine each cat prior 
to the beginning of the judging and shall disqualify any cat which may have any 
form of contagious disease. All cats considered by the veterinarian to be in 
good health shall have cards to that effect attached to their cages. In the absence 
of this card the Cat may not be judged. 

Sec. 2. Any exhibitor suspecting any cat of having contagious disease during 
the show may report the same to the show committee and it will be the duty of 
the show committee to remove such cat to a cage in a room apart from the 
regular show room until the veterinary shall pass upon the health of the suspected 
animal. Should the veterinary find it necessary he shall have power to order 
the immediate removal of any sick cat from the show. Such cat shall be entitled 
to all prizes allotted to it prior to the decision of the veterinary. 

Article VIII — Disqualification 

Section i. Should any cat be wrongly entered or entered contrary to the 
rules, upon protest being lodged, the show committee, by a majority vote, shall 
have the right to disqualify such exhibits. 

Sec. 2. In case of disqualification, the animal next best shall be given the 
prize, as though the disqualified animal had never been in competition.

SHOW MANAGEMENT 

Rule I. All entries must be made on the regular entry blanks, furnished by 
the show management, and must be mailed not later than the date of closing of 
entries, which must be stated on the entry blank. The management reserves 
the right to reject any entry without assigning any reason. 

Rule 2. The entry fee or fees must accompany the application for entry. 
Out of town checks should have ten cents added for cost of collection, but money 
orders or express drafts will be accepted. 

Rule 3. If the entry is accepted, a receipt will be forwarded, together with 
shipping tags. Each shipping tag must bear the name of the cat and the number 
of its cage. Exhibitors who do not personally accompany their cats should 
attach a number or other distinguishing mark to the cat's neck by a ribbon, to 
facilitate correct benching. 

Rule 4. Where cats are shipped by express, the return express address 
must be written on the reverse of the express tag. 

Rule 5. Cats will be fed and cared for by the committee, unless the ex- 
hibitor prefers to take exclusive charge of his exhibits, in which case the com- 
mittee is relieved of this responsibility. 

Rule 6. The management will take all reasonable pains to properly care 
for cats, hampers, etc., but it is expressly stipulated that the show manage- 
ment, or the club, cannot be held liable pecuniarily for loss or accident to cats 
at any time; nor for loss of or damage to hampers, crates or other receptacles. 

Rule 7. Show officials must not transfer cats wrongly entered as to type. 
Exhibitors must themselves decide as to the types of their exhibits, and must 
abide by their own errors of judgment. Cats wrongly entered as to type will 
be marked " wrong class." 

Rule 8. Judges may withhold awards if in their judgment the exhibits have 
not sufficient merit. Judges may mark "wrong class" against exhibits wrongly 
entered as to type or sex. But questions as to age or eligibility to novice, kitten 
or special classes must be referred to the show committee, who shall investigate 
the matter. The class must be judged as though the doubtful exhibits were 
eligible, and one additional award allotted, so that in case the protested animal is 
disqualified, the regular list of awards may be made. 

Rule 9. Judging must begin promptly at the hour advertised. The judge 
need not judge in accordance with the order in the catalogue, at the outset, but 
may begin with any classes where all entries are present. Having finished with 
such classes, he must then proceed with the unjudged classes in the order of the 
catalogue. No further latitude than the above mentioned shall be accorded to 
late arrivals. 

Rule 10. In case of the absence of the regularly appointed judge, the show 
committee may appoint a substitute judge. In such case, exhibitors may decline 
to allow their entries to compete, but may not remove them from the show for 
this reason. 

Rule II. The colors for ribbons or cards designating prizes shall be as 
follows: First prize, dark blue; second, red; third, yellow; fourth, or V. H. C, 
green. Specials, white or a rosette of club colors with white streamers. 

Rule 12. Prior to the judging there shall be no decorations on cages which 
indicate the identity of the cattery or exhibitor.

standing that they are to remain during the entire show. Exhibitors, however, 
may remove cats during the night by depositing $5 for each cat, said deposit to 
be returned if the cat is replaced in its cage by 9 o'clock on the day following; 
otherwise it shall be forfeited. Should a cat thus removed be not returned, all 
prizes won by any and all cats shown by that exhibitor shall also be forfeited. 
Cats shall not be removed otherwise, except upon a certificate signed by the 
veterinarian. It shall, however, be optional with each show management to 
announce in advance, in its premium list, whether or not cats sold during the 
show may be immediately delivered. 

Rule 14. Exhibitors desiring to sell cats must declare on their entry blank 
the price asked for each cat or kitten, and this price will be entered' in the cata- 
logue, and any person shall have the right to purchase at the price named. 
The owner may decrease, but may not increase, the price during the show. All 
sales must be reported promptly to the Secretary, who will deduct 10 per cent, 
commission. 

Rule 15. All protests must be made in writing within ten days of the 
termination of the show. Said protest must be accompanied by a deposit of

be forfeited.

SPRATT'S POULTRY FOODS 

IF THEY DO COST A LITTLE MORE THAN OTHERS 
''None Bat the Best Can be the Cheapest'' 

SPRATT'S POULTRY FOOD No. 3 

For adult birds. It is used at the leading Poultry Shows and 
in the foremost Poultry Yards throughout the world. It is 
an egg producer, and it will materially increase the percent- 
age of fertility in the eggs. At first sight this food may 
appear too expensive to use, but it need only be fed once a 
day and can be mixed with equal parts of corn, oats, and 
wheat ground together, and in this way is one of the very 
best and most economical foods that can be obtained. 

SPRATT'S CHICK MEAL No. 5 

should be fed to the little chicks from the time they are 30 or 
36 hours old until they reach maturity. It comes nearer to 
nature than any food that we know of, and since it is thor- 
oughly cooked, it is easily digested and it will give the young 
birds a start in life that no other food will. 

SPRATT'S CHICGRAIN 

is the best dry Chick Food that can be compounded, and it is 
the cheapest, because none but the best can be the cheapest. 
CHICGRAIN is a perfectly-balanced, semi-cooked partly 
malted grain, insect and vegetable ration, easily digested and 
highly nutritious.

DEPARTMENT OF BEES AND HONEY 



Exhibitors in this department cannot compete for more than one premium 
with the same exhibit, or, in other words, exhibits competing for single premiums 
cannot be included in a display or vice versa. 

All Honey and Wax exhibited must be of this season's crop, and must have 
been produced in the apiary of the exhibitor. 

No premium will be paid in violation of these rules. 



Points for the Judging of Honey 

Comb Honey — First, perfection in filling and capping; uniformity. Second, 
neatness of capping and sections. Third, general appearance for market purposes. 

Extracted Honey — First, body; flavor. Second, clearness; cleanliness. 
Third, general appearance for marketability. 

Honey should be so arranged as to show every section in display, and every- 
thing that may add to the attractiveness of an exhibit should be considered. 

SPECIAL 

The Connecticut Fair Association will add the same amount of money to 
each premium in the following classes as is given by the Bee-keepers Association. 
Therefore, the winner of the first premium, should the amount be $5.00, will 
receive $10.00, $5.00 being paid by the Connecticut Bee-keepers Association, and 
$5.00 by the Connecticut Fair Association. Exhibitors will observe that these 
are the most liberal premiums ever offered by a fair association.
